You are the One and Only - C45
Qin Nuo reclined on the brick bed, although she did not want to fall asleep, her eyes slowly became hazy.
She brought Qing Luo and went to the Qin Manor, attracting everyone’s surprise and enthusiasm. However, she did not manage to get any news about Tang Mo from the Qin Feng and Qin Yang brothers.
But it was already very late and Ling Yexuan still hadn’t come back, so Qin Nuo unknowingly closed her eyes.
Qin Nuo subconsciously shrunk closer, her entire person becoming more spirited in an instant. When she looked into Ling Yexuan’s eyes, she unconsciously revealed a sense of resistance and vigilance.
“All of you can leave now!” Ling Yexuan said in a deep voice, not looking at Bi Tao and Ying He.
Bi Tao and Ying He were startled, and immediately retreated. If this were any other time, they would have tactfully left, but tonight, when they saw that the prince’s expression didn’t seem quite right, they began to worry for the Empress.
“These girls are getting more and more out of hand. I see that they are all getting on in age, so why don’t we get rid of them as soon as possible and change them! ” Ling Yexuan said again, as though he was faintly suppressing the anger in the bottom of his heart.
Qin Nuo sat up, tied up the blanket and leaned behind him.
“Your Highness, if you have anything to say, just say it. There is no need to vent your anger on the lass.”
“If you want to return to your family, just tell me. Why do you need to do it today!? You disguised yourself as a man, yet you were so scared that you actually thought you had suffered in the palace and secretly ran back! ” Ling Yexuan said lightly.
“Since when did the prince become so roundabout!” Qin Nuo smiled slightly. Today, I went to many places. Other than the teahouse, the Qin Residence is the only place that can be considered open and honorable. I didn’t expect that the Prince’s subordinates would be so powerful. I’ve already changed my car, but they can still follow me all the way. ”
“You’re quite frank!” Ling Yexuan spoke coldly, as if she was squeezed out from the gaps between her teeth. She suddenly stepped forward and pinched Qin Nuo’s chin. Speak! Who sent you? It’s not him! ”
Qin Nuo glared at Ling Yexuan.
“Speak!” Ling Yexuan growled. Why aren’t you saying anything? Scared? Didn’t you do well a while ago? My trust, isn’t it? ”
Hold my chin, what the hell am I supposed to say! Qin Nuo cursed angrily in his heart.
She wasn’t surprised at all! Not disappointed at all! From’s words yesterday, she knew that Jing Shuyi would definitely suspect her. No! Perhaps, Jing Shuyi didn’t even need to doubt that the Duke in front of her had never truly believed her!
The more Ling Yexuan spoke, the angrier he became. He loosened his grip on Qin Nuo’s chin and pushed forward, causing Qin Nuo’s head to hit the wall behind him with a “bang.” Fortunately, he did not fall down. Qin Nuo carelessly rubbed it with her hand. Not caring about its uses, she gave Ling Yexuan a headache, and looked at him without showing any signs of weakness. She had a disdainful smile on her face.
“I never thought that Your Highness would be so impatient!” I thought you’d have to follow me a few more times before making a decision! ”
Ling Yexuan was speechless for a long time after hearing Qin Nuo’s words. Did she really understand? If this person wasn’t her, how could he have been so impatient?
Seeing Ling Yexuan not saying a word, Qin Nuo’s anger rose. Coincidentally, she stopped Ling Luo’s carriage today, if it was anyone else, Ling Yexuan would probably give her the crime of having an affair with someone else! No! If that was the case, maybe Ling Yexuan would just swallow her anger and let her go, and let his continue to be followed until he found evidence that he thought he was wrong.
But it was also strange! That person is Ling Luo, the current Emperor’s Eleventh Brother, Ling Yexuan’s Eleventh Uncle, and not Ling Zhongchi. Just what is Ling Yexuan getting so excited about?! Could it be that this Prince Rui, and even his uncle, also treated him as a fake enemy?!
If it was someone else, it would be fine, but Ling Luo … Qin Nuo’s eyes flashed. Even if he beat her to death, she would not believe that Ling Luo, who was occasionally mischievous and occasionally sad, would be interested in that throne!
Ling Yexuan glared at Qin Nuo fiercely. This woman’s eyes were flickering with uncertainty. He did not know what he was thinking, but it only served to convince him that he was right! He mocked himself. He did not expect that the dignified Prince Rui, who could shake the world in the imperial court and the battlefield, would actually marry a woman who constantly lied to him!
“Someone, come!” Ling Yexuan roared, scaring Bi Tao and Ying He so much that they replied and entered the room. Bring the wangfei to the Qinxin. Without this king’s instructions, you are not allowed to take a single step inside the Qinxin. ”
“Your Highness!” Bi Tao and Ying He were stunned for a moment, before they hurriedly kneeled on the ground. Prince, please calm your anger! ”
“What is it? Does This King’s words not count? ” “Ling Yexuan swept a glance at the two girls with a cold expression. “In your eyes, there is only an imperial concubine, and no prince.”
“Prince, why are you making things difficult for this girl!” Qin Nuo raised her head and got down from the brick bed. Why must you chase me to the Qinxin?! Why don’t you just divorce me! No matter how angry I am, I might as well kill me with a single slash. In any case, the prince’s hands are covered in blood, so you don’t need to worry about me! ”
Although Qin Nuo was angry, she did not lose her reason. She even knew why she was so excited.
After realizing what Jing Shuyi was thinking, she went out to see if there was any chance to get close to Ling Zhongchi. She really wanted Ling Yexuan to think that she was a woman sent by his enemy. This way, she would be able to leave him, reunite with her brother, and meet Tang Mo.
In any case, he was the one who arranged for her to marry him. It couldn’t be blamed on the Qin family!
But who knew that at the teahouse, her brother would go to the south and only then did she realize that Tang Mo had mysteriously disappeared. Not only did no one know about it, her brother was also hiding it from her!
Her mind was in a mess, but she did not forget to attract the attention of the two groups of people following her. It was just that she did not expect that the carriage she stopped, was Ling Luo’s! Ling Luo had been the accident on all of her plans, but he had brought her happiness. Not only did he not sweep away all the haze in her heart, he even brought her joy.
In any case, she was a real person. Even though her happiness at that moment could not last forever, her state of mind at that time was real!
In order to investigate Tang Mo’s whereabouts, she had originally planned to ask Ling Yexuan about it calmly after meeting him. If he didn’t say anything, she would think of another way. Unexpectedly, he got angry as soon as he returned.
Just send it! She could take the chance to leave him!
“Abandon you?” Ling Yexuan gritted his teeth as he looked at Qin Nuo, and approached her step by step with a cold smile on his face. Don’t even think about it! Anyone who dares to deceive This King’s woman, This King will definitely make her beg for death! ”
The inside of the room was very dark. Qin Nuo laid on the bed and slowly organized her thoughts.
Just now, she had thought that in her anger, Ling Yexuan would kick her out of the Duke Palaces.
Back then, when Ling Yexuan found out that Zhuo Tao and Jiang Xiao were people, he did not chase them out of the house to avoid alerting the snake with the grass, let alone her! Actually, she was betting just now as well. After all, she wasn’t Zhuo Tao, not Jiang Xiao. No matter what, she didn’t come to his side on his own initiative.
However, once she calmed down, she understood that everything was just her own thoughts. In Ling Yexuan’s heart, since she was a spy sent by someone else, then even if Qin Muxue entered the residence after getting confused about the marriage escape, it would still be considered a conspiracy by him. It was a huge conspiracy related to how the Qin family stood on their side.
This thought shocked Qin Nuo. She even thought, “Maybe this is really a conspiracy!”
But very quickly, Qin Nuo dispelled that thought. Prime Minister Qin was the current Minister of the Left. Even if he didn’t know the Emperor’s thoughts like the back of his hand, he could tell that he was right. It was already the greatest honor for the Emperor to bestow his own daughter to the Prince Rui. For Ling Zhongchi’s sake, he had no reason to go against Ling Yexuan.
Everyone knew that if Ling Zhongchi wanted to fight Ling Yexuan, the chances were too low.
Therefore, when Zhuo Tao thought that Ling Yexuan had ulterior motives towards her, she revealed a look of joy, as if she was willing to be a girl in the Rui Palace. Therefore, Jiang Xiao would silently stay in the Duke Palaces after Ling Yexuan did not punish him, and gradually lose contact with the people outside. That was why Jing Shuyi had made such preparations. If Ling Yexuan were to give her the position of Chief Consort, she would definitely be loyal and loyal to him.
No! That’s not right!
Even if Ling Yexuan didn’t give her the position of Chief Consort, she would have never had any thoughts about Ling Yexuan.
No matter what, that Princess of Ling Zhongchi was the eldest miss of the Wei Guo Mansion. At that time, Ling Yexuan was still concealing his strength, as if he wasn’t ambitious. It was normal for them to choose Ling Zhongchi. Moreover, whether it was then or now, in the harem, the imperial concubine was always a head above the empress.
Even though they knew Jing Shuyi’s feelings toward him, they couldn’t judge him based on her selfishness when it came to the battle for the throne! And only Jing Haoming, who had a good relationship with Ling Yexuan, knew if they were on good terms with each other or had some other motive.
Maybe, Ling Yexuan also knew, but pretended not to know! The situation was still unclear, and the Jing Residence was not the only fence-sitter.
Qin Nuo didn’t feel that Jing Shuyi was suspecting her in the slightest, just thinking that she was using her own strength to cause trouble. Imagine, even Ming Liu had some doubts in her heart, how could Jing Shuyi, who only wanted to fight with her! The reason why she said so much yesterday was simply because she hoped that Jing Shuyi would behave herself and not fall for it. She hoped that she wouldn’t do anything bad for her.
Qin Nuo took a deep breath. She didn’t want to admit it, but she had to admit it. Even though she wanted to live a comfortable life, she didn’t like or care to share a man with another woman. But if Ling Yexuan trusted her, even if she left, in her heart, she would at least feel better!
Unfortunately, he was more willing to believe in himself!
Fortunately, she had thought of everything in advance, so she was not surprised nor was she disappointed. It was also the time to be angry! Right now, she was lying on Qinxin’s bed quietly. Even though she had a thin blanket and was a little cold, it was still better than fighting with those women. She seemed to have a strong will to fight, but her heart was also tired!
“Empress, you’re still awake?” In the darkness, Peaches’s soft voice rang out.
“I’m going to sleep now!” Qin Nuo turned his body over and closed his eyes.
She was tired, so she might as well get a good night’s sleep. Tomorrow’s matters, tomorrow’s day!
